I wouldn't say "untranslatable", since you seem to have translated quite
well--you just needed to use a phrase instead of one word.
Anyway, I haven't really gotten to work on the vocabulary for my conlang

and one for "an acquaintance that one does not particularly like but is
nonetheless friendly towards".
